"roasting them helps bring out their natural, nutty, toasty flavors that can better complement baked goods (and are more appealing to your taste buds)."
"Toasting also helps to crisp them slightly, which usually adds a nice appealing texture to the baked good they're added to,"
Raw walnuts can taste flat or even slightly bitter. Roasting brings out natural nutty, toasty flavors and makes walnuts more appealing to the palate. Oven roasting can be done at 350°F on a parchment-lined baking sheet until the nuts begin to brown, about seven minutes. Stovetop toasting on medium-high in an even layer and stirring until fragrant and browned is quicker and crisps the nuts slightly. Toasted walnuts add improved flavor and texture to baked goods. Pairing toasted walnuts with complementary cookie flavors prevents flavor clashes and maximizes their impact.
